Digvijay advises Kejriwal to fast, not Anna

June 15, 2011 16:34

Any time now, social activist Anna Hazare, (who turned 74 today) will meet the government on the Lokpal Bill.

While we wait, Congress General Secretary Digvijay Singh advised Hazare, to refrain from going on frequent fasts due to his old age even as he sharpened his attack on Baba Ramdev.

"If at all a fast has to be undertaken, it should be done by younger people like Arvind Kejriwal who are part of the civil society," Singh said today.

Furthering his attack on Ramdev the senior Congress leader said he would ask yoga experts to find out if the lessons taught by Baba were correct or not.

"As per whatever I know of yoga, it was not something which can be taught in a camp attended by thousands of people but it has to be done on a one-to-one basis between the teacher and the student," the party General Secretary said.
